Yeah, that is a problem. That said, Evans and McCauley both missed games with injury and Aaron Hughes came in with virtually no impact. Brunt was out for a long spell and the likes of Cathcart and Hodson filled in. Surely to eff Scotland must have better centre backs about than Christophe Berra ffs. |

O’Neil is a better choice for Scotland than some of the bangers mentioned. I just don’t think he’s some sort of genius - he’s done brilliantly with limited resources but he should go for the biggest and best job he can get ASAP cos he might be begging for interviews in a few years. |

Has anyone described him as a genius He is a good coach, knows his stuff tactically and has a good record with players who love playing for him. He is obviously not in the bracket of Pochettino, Mourinho, Ancelotti, Klopp etc. But in terms of the type of market Scotland are shopping in he would be a very good appointment imo - far better than the likes of McCleish, Burley and - as it turned out - Strachan. You will not get the type of guff you had under the previous manager with Griffiths and McGregor. If O'Neill does come I would expect Brown to keep playing - Rodgers will see to that.

Michael O'Neill won Shamrock Rovers their first league in 15 years and took them into the group stages of the Europa League! He then took NI to the Euros last year. That's a better CV than most of the diddies being mentioned. |

While I agree with your point I am not even sure 'CV' is the most important aspect in play. Berti Vogts had won the Euros and was abysmal for Scotland. Trappatoni - CV was unbelieveable but in terms of a fit for Ireland he was just wrong. Connor Sammon leading the line - good grief. To me Michael is just a good fit - has lived in Scotland for years, knows Scottish football inside out. And when you add that into the mix I honestly don't see how, realistically, Scotland are going to fare any better. |

Completely agree. Everything I've heard about O'Neill suggests he's a really solid manager of people. He takes a lot of time to get to know his players, understands how to get the best out of them and is really dilligent in his preparation for matches. He sounds perfect for us, and I really hope we get him. |

Coleman resigns from Wales to take the Sunderland job. What an idiot, that's a terrible job to take.

I like Coleman - I suspect he likes the challenge and everyone telling him it’s madness and it’ll never work and they’re a steaming pile of dung But it’s madness and it’ll never work because they’re a steaming pile of dung |

Managers can't really complain about lacking tenure or job security if they make ridiculous moves like that. Chris Coleman, earlier this week:
